CHAPTER SEVEN ENDS THE PORTION OF THE BOOK WRITTEN IN CHALDEE. NOW WE ARE GOING BACK TO THE HEBREW.
IN THIS CHAPTER (# 8 IS A NEW BEGINNING IN BIBLICAL NUMERICS), WE WILL SEE WHAT THE CHILDREN WILL BE DOING WHEN THEY COME OUT OF CAPTIVITY FROM THE KING OF BABYLON. HE WAS ONLY A TYPE, SHOWING US WHAT SHALL HAPPEN UNDER THE REIGN OF THE NEW KING OF BABYLON IN THE END GENERATION.
THE FUTURE KING OF BABYLON IS SATAN.
Daniel 8:1 In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar (PRINCE OF BAAL) a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.
THERE IS A TWO YEAR DELAY BETWEEN 7TH AND 8TH CHAPTER. AT THE END OF THE BABYLONIAN EMPIRE, FOR BELSHAZZAR REIGNED LITTLE MORE THAN TWO YEARS.
THIS IS TWO YEARS LATER, AFTER THE DREAM OF THE 4 BEASTS OF CHAPTER 7.
DANIEL IS 87 YEARS OLD HERE.
LIKE THE VISION IN CHAPTER 7, THIS ALSO IS COMPLETE IN ITSELF, BUT IS NECESSARY TO CONTRIBUTE ITS PROOF OF THE UNITY OF THE BOOK AS A WHOLE. THIS VISION (AND THE REST OF THE BOOK FROM HERE) IS WRITTEN IN HEBREW; BECAUSE ITS PURPOSE IS TO SHOW HOW GENTILE DOMINION (OF CHAPTER 2) SPECIALLY CONCERNS AND AFFECTS ISRAEL.
8:2 And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan (THE CHIEF CITY OF ALL PERSIA. IT MEANS LILLY) in the palace, which is in the province of Elam (ETERNITY); and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai ( PURE WATER. THE EULAEUS CANAL NEAR SUSA. NOW KARUN RIVER).
8:3 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram (SYMBOLIC OF A LEADER IN ISRAEL=FUTURE. NOT THE TODAY'S COUNTRY OF ISRAEL, BUT THE TRUE ISRAEL=CHRISTIAN KINGDOM) which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last (LESS POWERFUL).
IN HISTORY, THE RAM WAS PERSIA, AND THE TWO HORNS WERE THE KINGS OF MEDIA AND PERSIA. CYRUS WAS HIGHER MEANING, HE BECAME GREATER THAN HIS FATHER ASTYAGES. BOTH WERE IN EXISTENCE WHEN DANIEL SAW THE VISION (VERSE 20).
IN THE FUTURE, THE RAM IS A LEADER FORM ISRAEL, THE CHRISTIAN NATIONS OF GREAT BRITAIN, CANADA, UNITED STATES.
8:4 I saw the ram pushing westward (TO THE WEST), and northward (TO THE NORTH), and southward (TO THE SOUTH); so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great (ACTED PROUDLY).
8:5 And as I was considering, behold, an he goat (SYMBOLIC OF EVIL) came out of the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
THE HE-GOAT WAS THE ACKNOWLEDGED SYMBOL OF GREECE, AS THE RAM WAS OF PERSIA.
IN THE FUTURE, THIS IS THE FORMATION OF THE ONE WORLD SYSTEM.
8:6 And he came to the ram that had two horns (HORNS ARE SYMBOLIC OF POWER), which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.
IN HISTORY, IT SYMBOLIZES THE RAPIDITY OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT 'S REQUESTS, WHICH, IN THE SHORT SPACE OF 13 YEARS, SUBDUED THE WORLD.
8:7 And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved (MOVED HIMSELF, OR STROVE VIOLENTLY WITH) with choler (BILE) against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand (NO DELIVERER THAT COULD DELIVER HIM OUT OF HIS POWER).
8:8 Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven (ONLY GOD CAN CAUSE THE 4 WINDS TO BLOW ON EARTH. THEY BLOW FROM ALL 4 DIRECTIONS AT ONE TIME AND AT ONE POINT. GOD HAD STEPPED IN WHEN YOU HEAR OF THE 4 WINDS).
IN HISTORY, IT WAS THE GREAT EXTENT OF ALEXANDER'S CONQUESTS, AS "RAN" (VERSE 6) REFERS TO THE RAPIDITY OF THEM.
IN THE FUTURE SATAN IS FORMULATING HIS SYSTEM TOWARD THE ONE WORLD ORDER.
8:9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn (SATAN), which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land (JERUSALEM).
HE CAME IN ALL DIRECTIONS.
8:10 And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven (STARS= ANGELS); and it cast down some of the host and of the stars (ANGELS) to the ground, and stamped upon them (TRAMPLED FROM UNDER FOOT).
THEM= THE PEOPLE SYMBOLIZED BY THEM.
DO NOT MISS PART TWO.
GOD BLESS
